Blue Mountain Cafe in Lewisham

It’s a nice place but they should clean the tables as they are extremely sticky. We have been there several times but the cleanliness of the tables is putting us a bit off

Le he dado a este lugar algunas oportunidades. La cafetería tiene un aspecto encantador, el café es bueno, la ubicación es agradable y la joven camarera amable y atenta es un mérito del establecimiento. Sin embargo, en el espíritu de honestidad, no puedo quedarme al margen y no mencionar su comida. Las raciones son en general pobres. El sándwich de carne de sal que pedí y pagué 6 libras por el que era horrible. No exagero cuando digo que tiene una fina astilla de algún tipo de rebanada de pastrami comprada en la tienda, eso fue todo. Tre wre más gekins que carne, con mucho. Cuando me quejé, nada, cero. La camarera fue y le dijo al pesebre a quién vi mirando hacia afuera y luego. . . nada. Simplemente no deberían vender este plato, es una desgracia.

No volvería aquí otra vez, ya que una camarera nos ignoró cuando entramos sin habernos dado un menú, pero otras personas entraron y fueron dirigidas de inmediato. Nuestra comida llegó tarde al ver que ella tenía nuestra comida, nos pasó por alto y había servido a otros primero que a la nuestra. De Verdad? ¿Es porque el color de nuestra piel es negro? Muy decepcionado. La vibra no es la misma que cuando era propiedad de un propietario negro. No me impresionó especialmente cuando vivía en una sociedad multicultural. Por último, . El plato vegano era bueno

Llamado para té y pastel esta semana. Buena variedad de pasteles y muchos otros aperitivos y platos principales. Personal amable con diferentes áreas de asientos: interior / exterior.

Este café te resuelve. La comida siempre es muy buena. El personal es muy amigable y las áreas de descanso son buenas, con la opción de adentro, afuera y luego atrás. Los pasteles aquí son siempre super también! Nunca estancado, siempre fresco! No es barato aquí, pero siempre es de muy buena calidad y obtienes lo que pagas aquí.

What lovely staff and lovely everything. Really friendly café and had a lovely informal time here. Would recommend

Me traslado en aquí sobre 2 / 3 veces al mes y tratar como un descanso del trabajo. Ellos hacen su propia mezcla de café y es encantador, puedes comprar frijoles para llevar demasiado. Su comida es preciosa, muy sabroso y fresco. El ambiente es bueno, con un ambiente chic bohemio en mal estado, una mezcla de mesas antiguas y sillas, y una verdadera amabilidad de barrio para el lugar. El personal es siempre muy acogedor y atento. No zumos frescos, pero no he intentado, pero parece y suena grandioso.

Un amigo y yo condenó a tener café y queríamos comer afuera ya estaba soleado, yo a pie de montaña azul todo el tiempo, así que teníamos una porción de la torta de terciopelo rojo rodajas pasteles maravillosamente hecho y un buen moka. . . El servicio era tan pronto como nos sentamos nos saludó con una sonrisa. La porción de la tarta era generoso (me encanta la tarta), así que era muy feliz. El ambiente es agradable, un buen lugar para observar a la gente. Recomiendo encarecidamente tener una coma aquí no te decepcionará.

Lovely place to eat. Staff are good and food has some really nice fresh touches. More on the pricey side but good quality. Have been 3 or 4 times and always looked after.

Really lovely little cafe that serves amazing coffee and delicious food (with a Caribbean touch) at very reasonable prices. The service is also amazing.

Having lived in Sydenham for nearly seven years it’s been with great anticipation that The Greyhound would open. They have done as good a job as possible with what is a small space, decor is very nice, beer is good and staff very friendly. To give a bit of constructive criticism I would say that the drinking area is very tiny, the rest is for diners and you feel shoehorned in with no space. It’s very noisy which is down to thd tiled floors creating an echo and the windows are full of condensation so some work need to be done still. It’s good but needs to resolve these issues, st the mind goes compared to thd relaxed vibe you get at The Dolphin it feels a bit forced.

Me encanta este lugar. Vine aquí para algunos brunch y no nos decepcionó. Un montón de opciones con opciones para vegetarianos.Opciones opciones de almuerzo y brunch. Pedí el desayuno-almuerzo de salmón y mi pareja pidió el pollo adobado. Ambos eran deliciosas opciones. Mi hijo tenía las tortitas y eran demasiado.Personal muy amable y uno de los camareros incluso nuestro hijo.Volveré de nuevo.

Lovely friendly independent cafe- highly recommended! Great children's menu- yummy pancakes with fruit and syrup. Obligatory avocado on toast- perfect!

Very nice independent coffee shop. Quaint decor and furniture. Stopped off only for coffee and had a nice flat white. Can't comment on food.

Recently I stopped for coffee and cake here between meetings, and they were fine although a little expensive for the type of outlet. However, I was concerned over staff attitudes to hygiene. On visiting the loo I found there was no loo paper. There were paper towels but the loo user was advised on a notice only to put these in the waste bin and under no circumstances to flush them. Big dilemma for anyone "caught short". Do I use and flush to get them out of the place and risk a blockage, or do I stick them in the waste bin and risk putting something absolutely foul in the public domain, a matter of feet from where food was being prepared and served? Sorry to raise such disgusting images but this is what one was faced with. Now I realize that this sort of thing can and does happen from time to time, so mentioned this to the staff on leaving the loo. The answer I got was that they'd completely run out of paper and someone was going to have to go to the shops as and when they had time.

Fabulous ice coffees! And lovely selection of sandwiches or all day brunch... been going for years & def worth a visit!

really nice wee place and great coffee and lovely food . service is not slick or that fast but its not a problem at all. well worth a visit

I got here by accident. The cafe looks like it has seen better days, true, but the breakfast is nice, bacon is crispy and coffee is decent. Friendly staff and good service. Not bad at all.

He visitado este lugar en marzo no era demasiado feliz, la comida no es muy buena y el servicio era lento

He visitado este lugar con amigos, pero la última atendida con mi hija. Ella había ensalada de pollo y yo tuvimos una encantadora sopa

Estado viniendo aquí durante años y que es este lugar. Últimamente el servicio ha sido muy bueno con el personal joven, muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar. He estado allí cuando el propietario está allí y es realmente grosero boy y de mal humor, así que he estado desanime viniendo. No obstante hemos estado dando otra oportunidad últimamente y han sido muy dulce. El café es muy pobre - plana aguada y sin sabor blanco a precios West End. La comida está bien, pero nada especial. Esperamos las edades un día para sándwiches que tenía un montón de pan y poco abundante. El otro día nos tomamos el desayuno y nuestro huevos escalfados estaban mirando. La chica se disculpó y ofreció un reemplazo. Estábamos apurados después de esperar 20 minutos para nuestra comida y necesitábamos coger, así que no podíamos esperar. Nada fue descontado de la factura. Es la típica cara/East Dulwich Peckham/cafetería El pañuelo valle con comida normal y el café, madera recuperada y artefactos diseminados por el lugar inútil, pero bueno, este es el concurso y Sydenham simplemente no está allí. . . . .

Tenía la intención de visitar este peculiar café por un tiempo y no me decepcionó, encontramos con un amigo y disfrutamos del desayuno Inglés desde el menú: desayuno muy fresco, delicioso y bien servida. Un café fuerte - demasiado lleno para probar cualquier tarta, pero que visite de nuevo! demasiado al propietario, lo cual fue una ventaja adicional.

A friend recommended this place to me and what a lovely surprise. Best coffee in Sydenham by far, delicious food and excellent customer service in a relaxed atmosphere. My sons and I will definitely be visiting regularly.

This was my 4th visit but the first time I ate in. The coffee as always is amazing, I also had the soup of the day Leek & Sweet potato so tasty. This coffee shop is a great find and definitely worth a visit. Previously I have had takeaway coffee and a sandwich so nice that I knew I had to return. Service exceptional.

By happy coincidence my housemate and I both found ourselves with a day off, so we thought we'd pop down the road to Sydenham for a bit of lunch.Sydenham has a mix of no-nonsense greasy spoons and pubs, as well as various trendier options. I guess this place is on the trendier end of the spectrum.We both had the mezze platter, which was very good. A generous portion with pitta, hummus, vegetables, aubergine dip, salad and halloumi. Very nice.The place prides itself on it's coffee but I opted for a cup of tea, so I can't comment on that.All said, a pleasant place for lunch, or coffee and cake.

Loved the Blue Mountain Cafe! Quaint independent Cafe with great vibe. We had coffee and home made cake which was great! Friendly staff. I'd visit again.

Wonderful; sandwich and coffee. I adore Halloumi! My family was very welcome and we all enjoyed the food

The sign outside reads "best coffee in sydenham" which is probably true. But the the service is definitely the best in sydenham if not the greater postcode area.I first stopped here two years ago when I moved here. It's maintained high standards of food coffee and service throughout that time. Long may it continue.

Great food and very nice coffee. Some of the staff can be a bit moody and there seems to be a quick change over of staff but there is one woman in particular who is exceptionally friendly, smiley and welcoming. Having said that, the staff thing isn't enough to stop me going as I very much enjoy the food and drink. The breakfast is so good, and although it may seem pricey the quality of the products are definitely worth the price. It looks nice too and is quite relaxing to sit in and eat/drink.

Been here a few times for breakfast and the food is always good. I love the breakfasts because they have all the usual cooked breakfast options but they are fresh and not your usual greasy fry up so you don't feel guilty or fat afterwards! Always enjoyable and the service is usually good.

First of all I have never known someone to come up to you and say you can't make your own order, you have to stick to the menu? I'm a customer who is paying so I should be able to order what I like.She charged me an extra £4 and also put tomatoes in my baguette even though I asked not to.The food is gone down hill, service is rude and they always get your order wrong!!!

Popped in for a coffee while waiting for a business appointment & ended up having a lovely cappuccino with a chicken & avocado sandwich on sour dough with a side salad. With Bob Marley playing in the background this is a real chill out friendly cafe I would highly recommend for a visit. Best way to waste a couple of hours on a Friday !!!

A regular for me when I'm in the area. Good food and good coffee. Can sit inside or out and always interesting people (and staff) Staff always friendly and helpful.

Been here billions of times and great staff always welcome ... lots of choice lush cakes.All great!!

We went in to have breakfast, which was delish. The only downside is that just before bringing me the breakfast I was dreaming about, they told me there were not any halloumi. Very nice they told me I could ask for something else instead. Great service. Good coffee!

Been here for breakfast a couple of times. Good posh English breakfasts, and other selections like avocado on sourdough.

Popped in for a coffee as I had work in the area. Lovely vibe, good Blues on the sound system. Staff friendly. Coffee great.Came back for a sandwich - halloumi and avacado on wholemeal bread. Really nice with a fresh tasty side salad. Quietly busy, lots of life here, but I was able to sit and do some work through the free WiFi undisturbed. I hope I'll be in the area again, just to return. Really nice , good food, good coffee

I've been a regular to visitor blue mountain cafe and would have highly recommend to friends and family , however my last few visits have been very disappointing. The staff do not listen to your orders properly or write them down, and you get the food cooked completely the opposite to what you ask for it the wrong order or not at all! For example I ask for eggs well done... They come runny. A few weeks ago I ordered a side of pancakes which never came & I Had to ask for them to be removed from the bill. On that occasion the manager was sat next to us and did nothing to appease the situation. Today the pancakes were raw in the middle &They had run out of condiments and instead of going next door to the shop to get more they just said there's none left. It's really gone down hill which is a shame as it was a lovely, however I'll be going somewhere else from now on.

I visit a few times a week, usually for coffee in the afternoon while I work for a couple of hours. The food is great, especially the Jamaican Breakfast (saltfish and poached eggs), the staff are incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is warm.Food is a little pricier than other cafes in the area, but the quality jumps with it. Very well presented, cooked, and served.Everything I've eaten has been delicious.Recommended.

Tasty food served in a jiffy by smiling people.Outdoor chairs are a added attraction in a otherwise busy and dark road.

We often drop into this friendly, cosy café for coffee but find it difficult to talk with the level of music played at volume. A pity, because otherwise it can't really be faulted and the coffee is good.

My friend and I were waiting for others at Sydenham station on Halloween and decided to pop over to the Blue Mountain for a glass of wine. Such a nice little place, with very friendly staff (assuming the owners) offering a great range of coffees as well as beers and wines.We didn't have time to eat but the menu looked really appetising and we're both very keen to return for brunch one afternoon.

This unusual cafe offers something a bit out of the ordinary. And the coffee is excellent. Good for snacks or something a little more substantial.

Went to the Blue Mountain cafe last Sunday and was blown away by the taste of their coffee. Best I've ever tasted and that's no word of a lie! Will definitely come back and visit again when I'm next in the area. I'm based in north London but will make an excuse to come down :) Bought a kilo bag of coffee also so when that runs out I'll be back!

sunday breakfast,coffee and pastry.the coffee was great tasting and the pastry was fresh and fluffy.fantastic little place!

I visit this cafe regularly with my friend and have done for along time. Easy to find and food is very good quality. Coffee is perfection. Have shared happy and sad years, not to mention cake. If in the area truly is worth a stop. Staff always polite and friendly.

I had a yummy meal here a week ago, and was looked after by Talia, an angel! The most chilled, yet funky little cafe ever. I had much fun speaking to the gorgeous owner too, who had the most twinkly eyes! And I went back for a coffee there yesterday. A real gem in the heart of Sydenham!

This place is simply divine.Super friendly owner, great coffee, awesome menu with loads of choices. A Jamaican theme, the food is delicious.The recently renovated garden is a bonus on top!

Most unexpected appearance for theBlue Mountain restaurant. Pleasant and friendly staff.Menu small but appealing.

Great food.Nice atmosphere.Lovely place to meet for a coffee and a catch up.Suitable for meeting friends.

I dropped in here for a coffee and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere very much. The barista was efficient, friendly and charming. I stayed longer than planned as it was the perfect place to start off my day! Regulars and visitors were made welcome and the coffee was good. The decor was quirky but the staff are the main asset here- what a difference excellent service makes...My only regret is that I didn't ask the barista her name maybe next time I will.

My husband and I visited here on Sunday for breakfast as we had driven past lots of times but never been in! The staff were really friendly and helpful. The service is a bit slow and our coffees were forgotten about and there had been a mix up in the kitchen so out breakfast took a bit longer than it should have done but being a Sunday we were in no rush! The atmosphere and decor were really nice , quite industrial and unfinished which I like! The food when it came was nice though I was a bit suprised to get eggs benedict on a piece of toast and not a muffin ( not a criticism just an observation) although I myself prefer a bagel. I will definately be visiting again .

Given the lack of alternatives, I find myself in here quite often (the only non-greasy spoon alternative if you want food is Sugahill round the corner, and their food offering is more limited).Positives: the coffee is good, and actually tastes like coffee unlike most chain offerings. The staff are generally helpful and friendly.Negatives: the food can be good, but is sometimes distinctly average, especially given the quite steep prices for what you get. The service can sometimes be incredibly slow, and ironically this seems to be more the case when there are hardly any customers. The clientele vary, but there is sometimes a 'too cool for Sydenham, don't know how I ended up here instead of Shoreditch, must have taken the train in the wrong direction' element who have loud and boring conversations about house prices.There are apparently some more cafés opening in Sydenham soon, which should make this place up its game a bit.

My friend and I had eggs benediction to die for. The coffee was fantastic. Good staff. Nice quirky interior lots of old clocks. Really nice atmosphere. Just opposite West Ealing station. It's definitely worth a visit.

We ordered 3 sandwiches with coffee and tea. What turned up, after twiddling our thumb for nearly half an hour, was what can only be described as doorsteps stuffed with fatty streaks of meat and a layer of mustard. Plus 2 supposedly toasted sandwiches which were not toasted. The place was relatively quite so why the delay? The girl serving was pleasant.

Disappointing, really. We had a veggie and a standard full English and it left quite a lot to be desired. Both breakfasts lacked seasoning and flavour; the mushrooms seemed to have been steamed and the hash brown was luke warm and soggy. Good tea and coffee, but pretty lackluster. We spent £19 on breakfast and it was only ok.

Popped in for a Mocha, and was rewarded with the best coffee I have had in ages. Waitress full of smiles and very chatty. Thanks

Noticed the blue mountain cafe when we were walking down the high street on Saturday. It was very busy with people eating, drinking coffee, reading the papers inside the cafe and outside. On the way back we went in and had a a great lunch. I just had a houmous roast veg baguette with salad and we also had the chicken stew with rice. Both were excellent. Good mug of tea. Nice choice of food and a bit different. Staff very nice and helpful. All food freshly cooked. They also sell bread, pickles and other bits. Give it a go, child friendly too.
